I had the worst experience of my life and still have nightmares. My sister was put there for…read morehospice. Their staff left my sister who they didn't tell anyone including hospice providers that my sister was unconscious for a whole day. They left her in soiled pants and sheets for days. One day I came in with her choking because they had her flat on her back while I begged crying for help. She should've been sat up right. The head nurse had no compassion. We asked for our hospice provider to have someone stay wit her while we couldn't be there and she told them noone after 8pm. We were scared she would die and be dead for hours before anyone even noticed. They didn't clean as her floor had sticky stuff on it the whole 3 days we were there. She ended up dying after 4 days after being unconscious alone. I was with her 14 hours most days until that day. She died at 5am. Who knows the true time. 2 nurses that tried but were overwhelmed was the 2 Sherrys. Don't send your loved ones there unless you want them to die a horrible death and for your loved ones to have nightmares every single day because of the experience. I am in agony still today. There was even more that happened so please please do not allow anyone you care about go there.

At some point it was clear at the end to provide a place for end of life care. To help a person be clean, cared for free of pain in the transition from life to death. He was there about a week and was clean and made comfortable for what their ability was. The rooms large, solid and private with other areas & break rooms for family to gather. 24 hours a day. Just want to say that the negative reviews seem to be based on people not understanding what hospice is. It is for end of life after doctors are unable to do anything more for them and they are near dying. I am sorry they had confusion at that time, but they should not detract from the facility. Some also seemed to expect the hospice to make arrangements for funeral homes, burials or cremations for them. No. When a family member is sick or at end of life YOU need to make arrangements for that. So I think some reviews were unreasonable in medical type expectations and also cremation and funeral type arrangements which they do not do and people should not expect them to make recommendations as potential conflict of interests. But, thank you to all the staff there and their kindness & care which is a tough situation & time.

My wife has Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) - Stage IV, Metastatic, Aggressive. Like 90% of IBC…read morepatients, the IBC was already Stage IV when it was diagnosed. We opted for the hospice option because it was already spreading around her body. Life Choice Hospice has been there for us with a caring and professional intake session the morning after we contacted them through their website. That evening, Life Choice had delivered the equipment that my wife would need and started transitioning her to her new medications. We have a core care team of three. The names I have been using for them on our CaringBridge page are: The Amazing Nurse Julie (the primary caregiver who expertly changes the tumor's dressing and provides on-point answers, advice and support for both of us three times a week), The Fabulous Jessica (social worker whose visits, calm assurances, and insightful suggestions are truly priceless), and Stephanie the Magnificent (our Certified Nursing Assistant - because like a magician, she can turn my wife's soiled bed linens into clean ones really fast without my wife ever having to leave the comfort of the bed). When my wife woke up in pain at 2 am, we called the Life Choice Hospice 24-hour line, expecting to get an AI or an answering service. A Nurse Practitioner (NP) answered, (yes, a real person), and had the on-call person here in less time than we usually had to wait in an Emergency Room. The on-call (I forget if they were LPN or NP) was professional, caring, understanding, competent, and thorough who took care of her and did not leave until she and I both understood what was going on, why, what they were going to do about it, and what I had to do and watch for as they change her medication dosage and frequency to adapt to her increasing pain levels. We have needed the Life Choice 24-hour services at other odd hours between 11 pm and 4 am, and, while the NP on the phone and the LPN or NP that showed up were different, the pattern of professionalism, care, concern, and thoroughness was the same. When she noticed that I was getting overwhelmed with caring for my wife, The Fabulous Jessica suggested a "respite" meaning that my wife could visit a 24/7 care facility for 5 days to give us both a break. I did not know such a thing existed or could be so beneficial and timely. All three of my wife's core care team continued to care for her while she was in the 24/7 care facility. Life Choice had already contracted with a service award-winning facility, arranged transportation, got my wife settled in there, provided continuity of care by keeping their previous schedule, and coordinated the care my wife received from the 24/7 facility when Life Choice was not there. If you could use the help of a caring, competent, and understanding team of medical professionals like this, please contact Life Choice Hospice and Palliative Care. They accepted both my insurance from work and Jean's Medicare Part A.

My family decided that my Dad required hospice care towards the end of his life and we chose…read moreLifeChoice for that need. We were assigned Emily as our case manager and she was great to work with. However, we interacted the most with Grace who was on-call at the time we engaged them and helped my Dad a good bit during his last couple of days. Grace was super patient with us when we asked lots of questions about his care and hospice in general. LifeChoice also provided a rabbi for us and I think my father really appreciated that the rabbi visited with him for over an hour. I think they provided my father a lot of peace and comfort during his final days. My only regret was not engaging them sooner. Thank you LifeChoice for all of the help you provided my father and our family.
